Cryptocurrency Transfer Abroad From September 1: Bank of Russia Rules

  • Starting September 1, 2026, Russia will implement new regulations for cryptocurrency transfers abroad, subjecting them to currency control and AML rules.
  • Citizens and businesses can use cryptocurrencies and stablecoins for cross-border payments, including sending to personal foreign wallets or paying non-residents for goods/services, provided transactions are documented.
  • This move aims to provide an additional settlement channel for foreign trade amidst traditional payment restrictions, but does not bypass regulatory oversight.
